Jim, Just a hunch; are you using Outlook? If so, try turning off the journaling option for MDB's, Spreadsheets, etc. There can be a considerable delay when you save a file in Word, Access, or Excel if Outlook journaling is turned on. I'm not sure why it would be doing that at startup though. Easy enough to try in anycase<g>. Also make sure that all the mapped drives are valid. If windows can't connect to one, it takes a while to timeout. Jim Dettman President, Online Computer Services of WNY, Inc.

We seem to be having trouble with a couple of workstations where this is happening. Word will freeze for 3 or 4 minutes then startup and run normally. A second issue with the same users is when they save a file the same freeze happens. All of our users PCs are set to save to My Documents folder which is mapped to a network share. I have sp4 and do not have any problems at all. I've also not heard about this previously. Our notwork guys want us to upgrade to O2K3 as result of this sporadic issue claiming that O97 is not optimized for Win2K and was never meant to run on it. Can there be any truth to that?
